All other removable parts were painted the special Beige color. (Including door panels) The rest of the interior was body color. Steering column was a dark Brown as was the steering wheel. The shifter and parking brake lever was a matt black. Windshield (both sides) body color. Harold

Sput, All the information I have come across says the interior firewall was body color. If it was a removable piece, it was painted the beige color otherwise it was body color.

Here is a picture of one of my trucks in which the firewall is visible. The truck had never been repainted. Fire Wall 1 Here is a much better picture of a truck owned by someone else: Fire Wall 2 I have many more firewall pictures if you are interested. FWIW, GMC trucks of the same area had body color firewalls - but not Chevy. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 1,119 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 1,119 | If it will help check the VCCA chat thread from January 24, 2014 "The Definitive Paint Color". There is a long thread that lists colors used for the various parts on engines, wheels etc. Try this link: VCCA Link | | |
